Perhaps exploring the possibility of using PerlNet a product marketed by
ActiveState might be a cost effective solution.
With PerlNet, one can define an Interface to any module on CPAN and compile
it as a library or executable. So from a developer's prospective, a
programmer can leverage modules in CPAN and the .NET community all within a
single executable. Thanks to Mono this capability is now extended to the
Unix world. No sense in reinventing the wheel is there?
Is it extended to the unix world? My understanding of PerlNet was that
it worked by interfacing between the regular win32 perl interpreter and
the MS CLR - not by compiling perl code to normal managed code. The MS
CLR interfaces that it would use are not replicated by mono, so I
suspect it doesn't work on a unix.
this is corrert. PerlNet does not compile to il. It basically creates a
managed shim that marshalls between managed types and native perl. The
marshalling level is currently win32 specific.
